Things were chugging along normally with my seedlings this year until I did the first transplant. Since then, everything has started to yellow over the past 2 weeks and now things are looking very sickly. Below is a recap of the specifics:
1. seeds started 6 weeks ago.
2. fertilizing with .5-.5-0 seed starting fertilizer
3. seeds started with sterilize starting mix
4. grow light on 18 hours a day
Replanting Info:
1. replanted into 4" pots 2 weeks ago
2. leaves starting to go yellow and drop
3. one flat of un-transplanted seeds are still green and doing well (see pics)
4. tomatoes and peppers are affected. Oddly enough, watermelon is doing fine.
5. repotted with a bag a potted plant soil from HD
Any ideas what wrong? At first I was thinking over watering, but I personally have been letting them dry out very much between waterings. I'd like to blame the soil. Either way, these guys may or may not limp through the rest of the summer, but luckily there is a great greenhouse and I was able to replace most of the non-obscure seedlings this morning.
Some pictures are attached.
